Having the same issue with version 200.2 Keepass files open as PDF.
The workaround by toggeling offline works. There is an option to select how to open the file.
@Jay,
You explanation here seems incorrect:
"If the Keepassdroid app isn't showing as an option when opening via Dropbox, then it means that the developer would need to look into this, since the Android device doesn't have the extension registered to that app"
If this were true then the workaround using offline mode should not have worked. There shouldn't have been an option to choose to open KDB/KDBX files with Keepass regardless if we are in offline mode or online mode.
Please talk to DropBox developers to fix this.

This needs to be fixed. The only thing that works is in Dropbox, toggling offline off and on, as suggested by another user. There are no other valuable suggestions in this thread. It seems clear to me that it is a Dropbox bug.
Why would you not want to open a
.kdb or .kdbx file using the apps you have registered as default in the Android os?
Why would you want to open them using a pdf viewer?
It is odd that the issue is not acknowledged. Let's hope it gets fixed properly.
